Like blue jeans and porch swings, deviled eggs are so unfussy and delicious that they will likely never go out of style. And while there are plenty of ways to vary the recipe, the basic combo of mayo (or ranch dressing), relish (or vinegar), mustard powder, and egg yolk is hard to beat.

This is because the flavors are so well balanced. The fat and protein from the yolk and the cream from the dressing could easily become cloying, except that the tartness of the pickle, or vinegar, cut through it. The mustard powder gives it a richness and depth. And we love using ranch instead of plain mayo, as the herby flavor only enhances it. We recommend two halves—one whole egg per person, as a serving, but you may want to double it. These are so good, it can be hard to stop eating them.
